8 out of 36 Ministers and you are calling it Nepotism? You have annnimmmall brians. Foo0ols like you have no place in Ghana. naming the number of northerners in Mahama's administration will only bring division in Ghana so I will ask the general public to ignore idddiootts like you.
@Rotten Journalism: Wisdom must work on Akwesi Aboagye's Entertainment Review and not sentiments as people exhibits all the time especially that Witney Boakye Mensah. What she said about DOn Moen coming to Ghana at 60 was that "Is it not these same old songs he is going to perform?" very ignnorranttt!! The Bible changes not and so are the words of praise. May be she listens to Gospel songs for the sake of it but some of us takes it more than that. The other thing was that all the panel members on that show were calling for Local Gospel artist but what they lacked wisdom to understand is that the International Media will not carry news about Ghana at 60 and talk about Joe Mettle's performance but they will talk about Don Moen being in Ghana and Joe Mettle performing on that show as well. this is what will sell Ghana Artist to the outside World. Think a bit people! Sarkodie did on Busta Rhymes show and it was all over the world. I wonder if these people seek to know what is happening beyond the boundaries of Ghana.You are talking about Ghana Gospel artist who don't even have email address let alone Website and you are talking about selling them! what are they doing to sell themselves? Videos in front of flowers, hotels and water bodies? Absolut T**sh!

After Ken Ofori Atta, Gloria Akufo, Samuel Atta Akyea, Kwasi Amoako Atta, Nana Asante Bediatuo, Ken Amankwah, Duke Ofori Atta and Michael Ofori Atta, now this. NEPOTISM AT ITS APEX!
Most of the people flooding the Journalism Front line in recent times are just bunch of F0OOLS with no operating wisdom. Mark is the president of this so called council & having been in the entertainment industry in Ghana for decades was not headlined in the article. Bibi Bright who is far more popular than Nana's daughter did not headlined the article. What are you guys trying to achieve then? So that people can attack the president because her daughter is just a secretary to a council? Oh Ghana!! You did not even enquire to tell us about function of this council but you were F00OLISH enough to bring the names. Iddiottts at work! God save Ghana!!! This is the trend everywhere including even the panel on Akwesi Aboagye's Entertainment Review. People speaks about issues and you wonder if they have what it takes to be on that show. A typical example in the Don Meon coming to Ghana for Ghana at 60. Sad!! The other time a Film called 'Sala' was being promoted on the show and that movie was NOT even premiered as of the time but it had over 5 nominations on the Ghana Movies Awards which was coming up. How was that possible? And all the panel members including Akesi Aboagye could not speak against the wrong in this. George Quaye (Aboagye) alleged this Gospel Musicians given bribes & everybody was forcing him to deny that is not true and resign. this young man was insisting that he even have some chats to back his claim but all you could hear is he must come and say it's not true. If you have integrity or wisdom in your job you would have pushed for further investigations to help cleanse the system. How many of you don't know that this VGMA is full of Bribes? Even Evang Diana Asamoah once said she was contacted to pay money for an Award. But you come and sit there and you all seek to applause the wrong and keep the rotten system going. There is a day that we will account for whatever we were charged with. Or you think judgement is for only pastors?Hell no!!!
Is this news can't we think of something better as a country? Leave the girl to help build Ghana
Nana addo is indeed an axis of eevil. How can you be appointing only akans to and family members to every institution in the country? Is ghana now one tribe state?
So bibi, all this noise abt Government dnt respect us is bcos you ve been influence by NPP. Time will tell whr is Agya koo the comedian? comedian will always be a comedian that is ur job,, that is NPP for you. sacorate Sarfo, Miss Nelson dumsor vigil actress we are waiting for another dumsor vigil. and lucky mensah.
so will it be better if she just stays at home and will still enjoy anyway than helping in her own small way to move ghana forward? if she can what is the big deal?
We told you so. Family and friends government. I cry for those who voted for NPP and currently unemployed.
